There’s no land like Scotland within the wide sea,

There’s no land like Scotland,

The fearless and free,

With her fair glens and mountains,

Her fair locks and fountains,

Her wild springing heather and modest blue bell,

No place in the world do I love half so well,

Oh! sleepin’ or wakin’, where e’er I may be,

My thoughts aye are turning dear Scotland to thee,

Bright gem of the northern wave,

Home of the free and brave,

While life endures thou canst never depart,

Ah! while life endures thou canst never depart,

Dear pride of the north from thy throne in my heart.
